Jersey City Writers

The only nonfiction writers workshop in the NY/NJ area, we are a supportive group devoted to all areas of nonfiction — memoir, journalism, opinion, essays, short- and long-form articles, blog posts — driven by the belief that truth can be as compelling as page-turning fiction. Two members have completed book-length memoirs, workshopping one chapter at a time. We meet on the second and fourth Mondays of each month from 6:30 to 9 PM, one block from the Grove Street PATH station. We don’t do prompts. At each workshop we review two or three works, depending on length. Members must pick a date in advance to submit. If this is your first time attending the Nonfiction Workshop, please give us your email address when prompted so you can receive our discussion guidelines.
